[0002] During the welding of the web gaps in steel plate girder bridges, a large amount of residual stress is often generated due to the non-uniform heating and cooling of the material. These residual stresses can adversely affect the strength, stiffness, and fatigue life of the structure, and may even lead to premature failure. Therefore, for the welding of the web gaps in steel plate girder bridges, accurate prediction and analysis of the distribution of welding residual stress is crucial for improving the reliability and safety of the structure.

[0054] The residual stress field distribution model of the web gap welding of the steel plate girder bridge involved in this embodiment is shown in equations (1) and (2), and the construction method is the same as that in embodiment 1.

[0055] In this embodiment, formula (1) is selected It is 47.01. It is 37.75. It is 5.13. It is 390mm. It is 360mm. It is 500mm. It is 5mm. The value is 8mm.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] The residual stress field distribution model of the web gap welding of the steel plate girder bridge involved in this embodiment is shown in equations (1) and (2), and the construction method is the same as that in embodiment 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, formula (1) is selected It is 58.43. It is 46.72. It is 5.17. It is 600mm. It is 570mm. It is 700mm. It is 18mm.

[0061] Table 3 Peak values ​​of residual welding stress

[0062]

[0063] As shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3, high-yield-strength steel significantly increases the peak value of welding residual stress, and the residual stress field exhibits a unique bi-tensile stress peak distribution characteristic in the transverse direction: two significant tensile stress peaks coexist, indicating the existence of multiple high-stress regions in the structure. This will significantly increase the risk of transverse deformation and multi-point cracking. Figures 2-7It is evident that the web gap size has a critical regulating effect on the residual stress distribution: a small gap (30 mm) results in a high-stress bimodal distribution, a medium gap (60 mm) effectively suppresses stress concentration, while a large gap (90 mm) leads to an increase in transverse tensile stress due to accumulated heat input. The above examples are consistent with actual engineering projects, indicating that this model has a certain degree of universality under different size and material conditions.
